Info and opinions C4 purchase

Hi Guys,
I need some opinions on a car choice/pricing. I've owned (3) 996 C2's. A '99 coupe and an '02 cab and '02 coupe. They're all sold and I'm considering purchasing another '02, this one a C4 coupe in excellent condition, second owner, seal grey, 17k miles, 6 spd, full carbon, supple leather... I won't be tracking the car, here are my questions:

#1) Fair pricing?

#2) Having enjoyed the nimble and tossable nature of C2 will the C4 be that big of a change?

and if so

#3) I've read many turbo owners eliminate/disable the front drive portion of their drivetrain for a more, nimbler handling experience. As I love the wide body look, is this a viable option?

Thanks for any input

Rono

The C4 is not a widebody 996 (unless you are looking at a C4S).

You're absolutely right, it is a C4S.
